as i said before, when boehner offered raising taxes on people who make 1 million and above, that was nancy pelosi's proposal. and before that, he brought things to the table that came from the president's own debt commission and the president said no, no, no, my way or the highway. and that's not how you cut deals. so, by saying that it's not his fault altogether, yes, republicans do have some blame. when one of our leaders say we're going to make sure that president obama is a one-termer that's not how you lead, but now it's time for both of them to come together. this is supposed to be the transparency president, he hasn't been that transparent. >> kelly: right you are about that. he does have problems with transparency as he discussed in his first term. perhaps at that was the glow of becoming the first african-american president of the country. but look, the bottom line here, the greatest actually begins in the homes of its people. therefore, what do we the people have to do to form a more perfect union? what should we be doing? >> we need to call in our representatives in congre
